Arsenal title winner Perry Groves is happy seeing Eddie Nketiah sign a new contract.

Groves has praised the new deal and believes handing the striker the infamous no.14 shirt - once worn by Thierry Henry - is a vote of confidence in the 23-year-old.

He told Talksport: "He's taken the No 14 shirt. No [it's not added pressure], I like the way that he's actually taken it and thought 'yes'.

"I would have thought that they would have talked about it and Arteta probably would have offered it to him. And that's another statement saying 'you're going to be one of my main players'.

"It all depends who Arsenal sign because I still feel they need another forward, you need competition in places. Obviously following in Thierry Henry's footsteps, following in Aubameyang's footsteps.

"But I think it's testament to Nketiah and his belief in himself that he's actually been brave enough to take the shirt."
